Question
Is there any significance for my wife and daughters to see when I light the Hanukkah candles?
Answer
Shalom and Happy Hanukkah
Even though family members fulfill their obligation through your lighting, even if they are not present, the poskim have written that there is a mitzvah for them to be present and see the lighting, as this fulfills the purpose of the lighting, which is to publicize the miracle of Hanukkah.
